THE ALMONER%u2019S GUIDE%u2022 If information is stored on laptops and other devices, consider installing a remote %u2018wiping%u2019 solution that will delete the hard drive in the event it is stolen. %u2022 Shred paper files before throwing them away and make sure that files have been permanently wiped from laptops, computers and other devices before they are disposed of. %u2022 Make sure the Almoner is the only one with access to the email account used for Almoner duties. Do not use a joint account that is shared with anyone else. %u2022 Be careful when sending information outside of the UK. It is unlikely that the Almoner will need to do this and it is important to get the agreement of the person concerned first. Remember other countries do not have the same level of protection for personal data that the UK does.FURTHER SUPPORT ON DATA PROTECTIONUGLE Guidance for Almoners is available from the Provincial Grand Secretary or visit mcf.org.uk/almoner-faqs For general information on data protection visit ico.org.uk 30
